DHAKA: Indian filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma says ‘Satya’ in the title of his next film ‘Satya 2’ should only be interpreted as a pseudonym.

He doesn’t want the audience to consider the forthcoming movie as a sequel to his 1998 crime thriller.

He says ‘Satya 2’ is about the ‘truth’ of two characters’ journey.

‘Aman (a character in the movie) gets off a train in Satya and what happened to him, that was about truth. The name is almost a surreal application of what his life is about,’ the 51-year-old said on Friday, gulfnews.com publishes this report on Saturday.

‘(Satya 2) is in another time period, another man gets off a train in Mumbai. So the similarity is about the truth. The name is a pseudonym rather, not to be taken literally,’ he added.

Varma has cast new actors in the film and says that since his characters are raw, only new actors could have pulled them off well.

‘Satya 2’, starring Puneet Singh, Anaika Soti and Aradhna, is to hit theatres in India on October 25.
